These threads jump off the first page way too fast. Still needing help

Anywhere on the Mi'hien road. Just use the increased encounter mode (F3) and just keep fighting everything. It's not like you have a choice anyway as you can't take the ferry back to the other places, and those places wouldn't give you more AP anyway.

I hsf no ifrs F3 button did that? Is there anywhere that tells about all the special key bindings like that?

Ähem, yes. Press ESC and go to special feature. There are the explanations for the F keys.

I'd just fight him and not bother. If Lulu has the second tier spells at the point of the Chocobo Eater the fight will be almost trivial.

Just nuke away with spells.

not looking to kill it, I'm looking to knock it off the cliff for the 2 level one key spheres. I read firea is the best way to knock it back after its on its back.

To knock the Chocobo Eater down, and to push it back, you need to hit it hard. Knockdown should come at 1210~ HP damage dealt, and each repeat of that. I think a push happens at similar levels? Might be less.

That 1210~ HP does *not* need by single hits, if I am correct... but it certainly helps.

Keep a save before it, and try to get Armor Break. Armor Break stats lowered the victims Defense, but also cancels the Armored trait, which you normally need Pierce on a weapon to bypass, so that is a big melee damage boost.
